image by António Martins, 05 Jul 1999

In October 1921 some antibolshevik fighters caming from Vladivostok (Birich and Bochkaryov’s detachments ) constitued in Anadyr the self called
Free State of Chukotka. The flag (reported in [tfb]
and other sources) was white, yellow, blue. Some weeks later, April 1922, Far
Eastern Republic troops take Anadyr without fighting. The Japanese had some
implication in this affair (just like in
Kamchatka).Jaume Ollé, 16 Apr 2000

Wrong report

I know one humorous history about flag of Chukotka. In 1970ies cinematographers
made a film about Civil War in Siberia. As far as I know film was about antibolshevik
fighters that came in Anadyr. Cinematographers had no a consultant on flags. And when
they want to make russian flags of White Army, they mixed up
second and third stripes: They made white, red, blue flag. Some naive vexillologist
saw the movie and decided that white, red and blue is a flag of Chukotka.Victor Lomantsov, 30 Apr 2000
